Porto Coach Backs Terem Moffi to Shine Against Nottingham Forest in Europa League
FC Porto head coach Francesco Farioli expressed confidence that Nigerian striker Terem Moffi will deliver a strong performance in the second leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter‑final against Nottingham Forest. Moffi, who joined Porto from OGC Nice in January, had a quiet outing in the first leg, which ended 1‑1, and was substituted early in the second half. He was named among the substitutes in Porto’s 3‑1 league win over Estoril Praia last weekend. Farioli said both Moffi and teammate Francisco Moura have been giving everything they have ahead of the clash, noting that Moffi has scored one goal in three Europa League appearances for the Dragons.
The striker’s form is important for Porto’s hopes of advancing to the semi‑finals; a good showing could help the club progress in Europe and raise Moffi’s profile as the summer transfer window approaches. For Nigerian fans, his performance offers a chance to see a Super Eagles attacker competing at a high European stage, which may influence national team selection.
Will Moffi’s performance earn him a starting role in the next game and strengthen his case for a regular spot with the Super Eagles?
